Viavi Solutions Inc.
Information Technology · Communications Equipment
Structural: global fiber infrastructure buildout (hyperscaler datacenter expansion + government broadband programs + 5G rollout) drives sustained demand for network test and assurance equipment; Viavi is a picks-and-shovels beneficiary of every new fiber mile deployed.
NSE segment is levered to both CSP capex cycles and datacenter build-outs; OSP segment (optical security coatings for banknotes, passports, tax stamps) generates steady high-margin government-contracted cash flows insulated from telecom spending volatility; long-term 400G/800G coherent optics transition expands test complexity and ASPs; installed-base software/services attach creates recurring revenue; JDSU heritage gives deep customer relationships with Tier-1 carriers and defense agencies; balance sheet improvement from cost restructuring post-spinoff; optionality on AI-driven network expansion as hyperscalers overhaul backbone capacity.
NSE revenue is cyclically sensitive to carrier capex and has experienced multi-year spending pauses; competition from Spirent, EXFO, and Keysight in network test; OSP banknote business is subject to central-bank printing cycle slowdowns and digital-payment secular pressure reducing physical currency volume; revenue mix still hardware-heavy with limited software SaaS conversion; execution risk on margin expansion targets; potential dilution from acquisitions to fill product gaps; emerging market customers may accept lower-cost Asian alternatives.
